Snow Emergency to End at 4pm

The City will lift its snow emergency regulations effective at 4 p.m. this afternoon.

Residents who had parked in municipal or school lots during the snow emergency have a two-hour window starting at 4 in which to move their vehicles. Cars still parked in city lots at 6 p.m. this afternoon may be subject to ticketing and towing as we must ensure the lots are plowed and treated properly before ice sets in.

Please also note that per City ordinance, property owners have six daylight hours following the lifting of a snow emergency in which to clear snow and ice from sidewalks. Paths must be shoveled to a minimum width of 42 inches, and snow may not be shoveled into the street. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in fines.

CoronaVirus Pandemic Update

Today, the City of Somerville and the Somerville Public Schools announced that effective Monday, March 16, all City buildings will be closed to the public and all Somerville Public Schools will be closed for a minimum of two weeks to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. During this time we will reassess if the closure needs to continue beyond two weeks.

Services essential to public health and safety – like police and fire responses, trash collection, and the 311 call center – will continue as normal while City offices are closed. This closure includes the Somerville Public Libraries and Department of Parks and Recreation facilities and activities. If you have questions about a specific service or official meeting schedules such as City Council, Boards, and Commissions, please call 311 or 617-666-3311. All City and School sponsored events are canceled during this period.
